This month I've made another shoulder bag but a different style, from the fabrics I bought last month, 22.8 metres in seven different colours and some lovely brocades for the linings so I will be busy with lots of ideas for a while! Anyway here are a few photo's of the first two bags.
Yes I have posted two pics of the same bag, the pic on the right has been Fotofuzed, the photo has been altered to have a white background added, I've had some feedback from someone saying that's perhaps why I have slow sales, so I've been altering some photo's in my Etsy shop, I'm not convinced it will make a difference, but time will tell. I take photo's with the camera on the mobile, not the latest and greatest expensive digital camera but I try to get the best photo's I can with what I have.
This is the lovely gold/brown brocade lining of the green chenille shoulder bag, I think it finishes off the bag just perfect!

The second bag I've made, a traditional style shopping bag, also has a lovely silver grey brocade lining which compliments the gorgeous chenille floral fabric. Once again I've stitched the fabric on inside of the handle to match the lining and no I haven't stitched the handle on the wrong way, I think it looks better this way!
There are some more pics on my facebook page, which I seem to be updating more often than the blog these days, but then again I have opened a facebook shop as well!

I'm waiting for some business cards to be delivered too! Here is a sneak preview.....I've already had some feedback from someone else, they said to take off 'upcycled' but that is what I make, so I'm leaving it on as I think its only fair so people know what they are buying, don't you?
The bags I've made have now been listed in my Etsy shop , have a good week.

Everything is worth trying to gain further interest. It is all a bit demoralising though when you spend time making items that will last and are one-offs onloy to hear someone at a craft fair saying that shop bought is better! Years of buying cheap rubbish imports is going to take years to unravel and promote it as the crap it is. Keep going Josie we shall both get there eventually.
